Subsystem Control
Facility (SCF)
SCF Reference
Manual for H-Series
RVUs
This manual describes the operation of
SCF on H-series RVUs and how it is used
to configure, control, and monitor
subsystems supported by an SCF
interface.
SCF interface to the
Kernel subsystem
SCF Reference
Manual for the Kernel
Subsystem
This manual describes the Kernel
subsystem, and the configuration and
management tasks you can perform using
the SCF interface to the Kernel
subsystem.
SCF interface to the
storage subsystem
SCF Reference
Manual for the
Storage Subsystem
This manual describes how to use SCF to
configure, control, and monitor storage
devices.
SCF interface to the
SLSA subsystem
LAN Configuration
and Management
Manual
This manual describes how to configure,
operate, and manage the ServerNet LAN
Systems Access (SLSA) subsystem. This
manual includes detailed descriptions of
the SCF commands used with the SLSA
subsystem and a quick-reference section
showing SCF command syntax.
SCF interface to the
WAN subsystem
WAN Subsystem
Configuration and
Management Manual
This manual describes how to configure a
ServerNet wide area network (SWAN)
concentrator on an Integrity NonStop
server. It also describes how to monitor,
modify, and control the WAN subsystem.
It includes detailed descriptions of the
SCF commands used with the WAN
subsystem.
SCF interface to other
subsystems
Titles vary These documents describe how to use
the SCF interface to other subsystems.
TACL TACL Reference
Manual
This manual provides information on using
the TACL interface.
TMFCOM TMF Operations and
Recovery Guide
This manual describes how to operate
TMF and recover from error conditions. It
is intended for those responsible for TMF
system maintenance.
TMF Reference
Manual
This manual describes how to use the
TMFCOM command interface to TMF.
This manual includes command syntax,
semantics, and examples, and is intended
for system managers and operators.
